International Space Station

[OliverTwistofLime]

I’ve waded through a lot of material on the ISS to try to find out its longest dimension when completed…how many people can dwell on it for extended periods of time and its square foot capacity. Have had difficulty locating the answers. Can any of you dopers supply the answers or direct me to where I can read them…please?

How big will the station be when it is complete?

It will have an end-to-end width, or wingspan, of 108.5 meters (356 feet), 88.4 meters (290 feet) long and will be 43.6 meters (143 feet) tall. It will have a mass of nearly 453.6 metric tons (1 million pounds) and will provide living space for up to seven astronauts and scientists. The pressurized living and working space aboard the completed station will be more than 1,303 cubic meters (46,000 cubic feet), roughly equivalent to the passenger cabin volume of two 747 jetliners.
